    Hi Paul! Awesome video yet again! I was quite blown away by the WH-1000XM3 that a friend at the gym bought. I set the app up for him and was immediately impressed by the sound quality especially when I played with the sound settings - Apple seriously need a good sound setting in their music app like this. I instantly from these headphones concluded how both iTunes 256kbps AAC AND Bluetooth can indeed sound INCREDIBLE (using an iPhone 8 which uses AAC on its bluetooth) therefore haters that say that bluetooth sounds bad need to check out these bad boys. Also gobsmacked with the ANC. Negatives where that I didn't like the plastic feel and design to the headphones and I hated the over complicated app. I still much prefer my AirPods Pro simply because i'm really active and prefer the tiny in-ear size but for anyone who loves headphones and is an android user, i'd say these SONY's are top. Can't wait for you to compare these to the Apple AirPods Studio's when they release. No doubt, Apple have these SONY's in their testing labs and are comparing!!!!!!

    2021 February Canadian Winter Update
    I never had XM3 to experience the touch control issues in cold weather. But I bought the XM4 and used them for a month before taking them back. I did notice inconsistencies of touch response when walking the dog in cold weather.
    Number one issue for me was it felt like they could be louder without sacrificing sound quality. (Given the sound was equally great at 10% through 100% volume) but I felt they capped the maximum volume to maintain battery efficiency just to say "Our battery lasts 30 hours."
    I would have been more then happy with 20+ hours and more sound overall.

    Great review with amazing editing once again! I agree for the most part, but one thing I am confused about is your XM4's battery life though. I rarely use Speak-to-chat (and if I need it, I'll turn it on and off by holding two fingers on the touchpad, which is a feature most ppl don't know about) because from my experience it does drain a decent amount of battery, but it's still not as bad as daily charging. Multiploint does remain on 24/7 for me though, and yet my battery remains normal. I charge my headphones only once every 2 weeks or so (and they get fully charged after only 1-1.5h anyway) so it's weird that your battery life gets affected so much.

    • @iAmPaulObelley
      @iAmPaulObelley  Před 3 lety

      Thanks! I was surprised too cause I know how great the battery life is without the extra features. But when I had every single one of them on, I would get the low battery prompt before the end of the day. I hope they fixed things with an update tho. Try leaving all the extra features on if you’d like to test things and let me know how it performs

      @@iAmPaulObelley Hi Paul, here's my update. I turned on all features (Speak-to-chat, Multipoint, DSEE Extreme etc.) and I went from about 95% to 0% from the last time I commented until right now, so about 12 days. And I do have to say that I wasn't able to use my headphones every day, but when I did I easily used it for quite a few hours. In conclusion, from my experiment I'd say you could easily get at least 20 hours of battery with all features on simultaneously, but it's definitely not the 30+ hours that I get by turning off Speak-To-Chat and DSEE Extreme (I leave Multipoint on). However, you can easily turn on/off speak-to-chat through the touchpad on your earcup (hold with two fingers, I recommend using index & middle and a little bit spread out), so if you know that you won't need S2C for a while then you can save a lot of battery that way. I hope I could help! :)
